Synopsis

On a fine day at the Krusty Krab, Patrick is behind the restaurant climbing out of a dumpster eating a Krabby Patty. The camera then pans over to SpongeBob, showing him reading the "Krusty Krab Schedule" book, much to Squidward being annoyed. SpongeBob then claims that the book has a list of "his happiest memories." Squidward takes the book and "accidentally" drops it on the grill. However, SpongeBob has multiple copies of the book in a cabinet, which he proceeds to get one. SpongeBob then asks Squidward if he has a happiest memory, in which he replies, "No." Feeling concerned, SpongeBob tries to ask Squidward if he can help make a happiest memory for him, which he accepts. First, SpongeBob takes Squidward to a concert. That did not go well, however, since the violin player accidentally shot Squidward in the eye with the violin bow. Then, both of them head to the Bikini Bottom Historical Museum. One of Squidward's masterpieces is in the museum, which is praised by critics. Squidward is happy until a famous art critic named Fiasco burns his artwork with a flamethrower. In addition, after that, SpongeBob takes Squidward on a hot air balloon ride. That doesn't go well, since Squidward is afraid of heights, so SpongeBob tries to get Squidward down by popping the balloon (because the balloon has no heater to make it deflate) and both of them land on a mountain which is actually Mount Bikini, ruining Harold's chance to be the first one on the mountain. Then, SpongeBob, Squidward, and Harold slide off the mountain due to an avalanche. When SpongeBob and Squidward slide back to their homes, Squidward insists that he will never have a happiest memory. 2 weeks later, Squidward is left in his house doing nothing but being unhappy. SpongeBob then becomes even more concerned for Squidward and tries to get ahold of him, but fails. He then traps Squidward in a box, and takes him to the Krusty Krab, where he reveals that he created a party to cheer Squidward up. Unfortunately, SpongeBob failed to get anyone else to come, because some of them were busy or sick, so instead he made 100 paper-mâché life-sized models of himself. Squidward hates seeing more than one sculpture of SpongeBob in one place so he goes berserk, destroys all the paper-mâché sculptures, and claims this to be his "happiest memory."

Reception

This episode is considered by fans to be one of the most depressing and most uncomfortable episodes in the whole series. These opinions stem from the fact that this episode plays Squidward's false suicide attempts for laughs twice and has him going downright insane at the sight of the 100 SpongeBob sculptures at the end.

This episode reveals that Squidward is afraid of heights, but in the episode "No Hat for Pat," Squidward was not afraid when he was on the diving board with Patrick.

Although he could have just said it because he didn't want to be with SpongeBob or he might have gained it later.

This is one of the two episodes to have suicide jokes in it, the other was "One Coarse Meal."

Speaking of the episode "One Coarse Meal," some of the similarities include:

Suicide attempts, which is very dark especially for a show like this.

Both episodes have characters hating other characters.

Both episodes have very similar amount of hatred from fans of the show.

A lot of fans of the show think that this episode was inspired by "Red Mist" (also known as "Squidward`s Suicide") which was a creepypasta centered around a supposedly scrapped episode of SpongeBob.

Cultural references

This episode shares the same name with the song by Michelle Branch.

The episode also shares the same name with a song sung by Megan and Liz.

When Squidward climbs the walls during his rampage, it is a reference to the Wacky Wall Walker, a toy that is thrown against walls, sticks to them, and looks like it's crawling down as it falls. The toy is designed to look like an octopus.

Errors

In the scene where SpongeBob cracks Gary's shell, it's in pieces, but next shot, it's repaired. (unless he bought one or it grew back)
